EDITORIAL: INL #25!
This is ISEA Newsletter #25. Since we started in January 1992 we have not
missed a month. This is notable considering that ISEA has no financial
support, except for the membership fees of our regular members which pay
for postage. The stamps are needed for all those members who do not have
access to Email. And those people are still the majority.
This may change: maybe in a few years when you are all connected to
electronic mail. (Please inform us of your address, when you get on
Email).
All work needed to produce and distribute the Newsletters is done by
volunteers. I wish to thank all of them and congratulate them:
the international correspondents, the text editors Seth and Ray, the
graphic designer Rene and most of all Dirk, who produces and distributes
the Newsletter. They really are volunteers: none of them has a job al-
lowing them to do this on the boss's time.
We are still working on improving our situation, harder than ever,
actually. But with or without that, we will continue to do our best for
you - providing you with a worthwhile Newsletter and, we hope soon, with
an International Journal on Electronic Art.

FISEA 93 REPORT
Roman Verostko recently published a report on the Fourth International
Symposium on Electronic Art (Minneapolis, November '93), of which he was
the executive director. A few quotes:
"FISEA 93, 'THE ART FACTOR', ONE MORE ISEA SUCCESS!
(...) Assessments show clearly that this annual forum is alive and well -
and its promise for the future is assured! (...)
SCOPE. Representing 20 countries and 31 states a total of more than 400
delegates and exhibitors contributed to the success of FISEA 93 held in
Minneapolis from November 3 to 7, 1993.
Countries represented included Australia, Japan, Finland, Denmark, Sweden,
Holland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain,Portugal, the UK,
Israel, Canada, Brazil, and the Peoples' Republic of China. (...)
FOCUS. The theme for the 1993 symposium, 'the art factor', was addressed
pointedly at the opening session by Jan Hoet, curator of Documenta IX
(Kassel 1992). Following his address, a heightened discussion followed
wherein he held firmly to the conviction that the 'art factor' lay beyond
the 'glamour of novelty' attached to the medium. Well known for his
tenacity and prodding eloquence Jan Hoet stimulated several days of
intense dialogue along side the many interesting papers and panels
topics.
PAPERS & PANELS. (...) Illustrated sessions held pleasant surprises such
as one by Christian Moller from Germany who showed a video of his
electronic architecture wherein the entire wall of the museum responded to
environmental changes in light and sound.
(...)
PROJECTS & APPLICATIONS. (...) Topics in these sessions included practice
and experimentation with electronic choreography and cinema, digital
photography, networked virtual reality, robotics, telecommunications,
interactive architecture, autonomous/sensing sculpture, algorithmic
experiments, hypertext, holography, biofeedback, virtual environments,
solid modeling (sculpture), and electrostatic copier art.
(...)
EXHIBITIONS. (...) Sign ups for the "Brain Wave Rider" were continuously
filled throughout the week. This very provocative "interactive" work
employing biofeedback technology, was created by the Digital Therapy
Institute (Tokyo) led by Keisuke Oki. The viewer, electronically connected
to the piece and seated was able to affect the nature of images through
meditation by changing from alpha to beta or delta waves. This work,
perhaps more than others pointed clearly to the interdisciplinary nature
of these symposia and spells out the question about what we choose to
include in our definition of the "art" experience.
(...)
ELECTRONIC THEATER. (...) Work of 21 artists from 9 countries includes a
FISEA 93 logo by Ivan Tylevich, an MCAD student. Ivan's piece is derived
from his FISEA 93 Poster: "a wired Christ-head immersed in fluid tissue -
the human/machine hybrid icon - as the brutal reconciliation site". The
piece grips the viewer and forces an experience of a human machine dilemma
- will our machines bring us salvation or destruction? Such work is in
direct contrast to the gentle, spiritual qualities of Cheung Wai-Kwong's
(France) animation, Sous Jantres Cieux, which demonstrates the transfor-
mative power of cyberspace.
SOUND/PERFORMANCE EVENTS.(...) Joshua Fried's (New York) "Travelogue", a
heart rending work performed by Monica Maye, demonstrated collision and
interaction between a live performer and a recording evoking experiences
of exhilaration, despair and dislocation - like those of a traveler. Craig
Harris' "inDelicate Balance" gave us poetry through transformed "found
sound" with a gentle presence. Cort Lippe's (IRCAM, Paris) Music for
Clarinet and ISWP was performed by John Anderson (U of M) demonstrating
the powerful potential of "processing" live performance.
(...)
SUMMARY NOTE: Budgets limited what was possible in every aspect of the
program - exhibits, publications, transportation and assistance for
presenters. For this reason all presenters and exhibitors are to be
congratulated for their contribution. Roman Verostko has expressed a deep
gratitude to all those who participated for the generosity of their spirit
and help. The FISEA 93 symposium demonstrated that there is indeed a
growing community of professionals who are making major sacrifices to see
this series go into the future.
See you in Helsinki for ISEA 94, August 23-28, 1994."
There was much more. For the full report contact:

CZECH BRANCHE
Lubor Benda of Pen Fli Studio, sent us an overview of the electronic art
situation in the Czech Republic. Lubor is setting up a Czech ISEA Branche,
about which we will inform you in the next Newsletter.
I would like to inform you about the results of research on the situation
in electronic art in the Czech Republic. First I am sending a short report
on the contemporary situation at Universities because it is the most
actual part.
Official branches and studios have been concentrated in the two biggest
cities, in Prague and Brno. In Brno, there was founded (as a part of the
Technical University ) a department VIDEO-MULTIMEDIA-PERFORMANCE with as
chief professor Tomas Ruller.
Thanks to a previous existence of the Audio Visual centre, there is quite
solid technical and professional background, according to the regional
conditions, of course.
The situation there is getting better very much, in my opinion mostly
thanks to the guest-professor Woody Vasulka. At the same time he activates
a happening outside of University very much. Probably there will be
founded a Vasulka Society and Foundation with which we will cooperate as
well.
In Prague there is a similar situation. There was founded a studio of new
media (headed by prof Belinski ) in Academy of Fine Arts directed by Milan
Knizak. Concerning technical equipment, the number of students and
cooperation with TV, press and so on, the situation is better than in
Brno, it is a probably the effect of the capital city.
Other activities which may be of concern here are to be found at the Film
Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where they are equipped for computer
animation and video editing. We are in contact with Stanislav Miller who
realized a Foundation for approach to the medias which is very interesting
for us as well.
Last, the Czech Technic University with departments Audio-video and
Computer Graphics is a technicaly interesting centre above all. They are
on Internet too.
We have met an interest in ISEA everywhere. As a conclusion I would like
to inform you about the first action of 'ISEA Czech'. This is a lecture by
Woody Vasulka which we realized at the 14th December in Pardubice City
Art Gallery. It was on American video art, 60`s and 70`s, first video and
audio synthesizers, first animation and videocomposition systems.

NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA
Ray Archee
At the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney - the MCA Collection of Light
and Movement works (10 Nov '93 - 22 Mar '94). Works in this exhibition
range from optical paintings and 3-D works from the 1960's which use
electronic motors, swirling liquids, mirrors and light bulbs, to recent
work using household toasters by James Angus. A particular focus of this
part-retrospective is that of a group of artists who, in the 1960's
explored kinetics, optics and perception in their art. Their inves-
tigations resulted in engaging directness and optimism about technology
and science.
At the virtual interface, Michael Snoswell, a South Australian researcher
is currently developing a client/server program called CyberTerm which
will enable multiple users to create a 3-D graphical presence in
cyberspace via modem. Users will be able to program their 'agents' to
perform various tasks from search and reconnaissance to preparing reports
and communicating with other users connected to the system.

CLAN ANALOGUE ELECTRONIC NETWORK
Rosie Cross.
Clan Analogue was founded in June '92 by a small group of aspiring
analogue keyboard users. It was initially established to strengthen
communication links between these few and anyone else interested in
joining. It also acted as a platform to launch both personal and
collective projects.
Since then Clan Analogue has grown into many areas outside of this
founding collective interest. Its members represent a wide spectrum of
backgrounds, interpretations and interests within sound production,
performance, installation, visual composition and other forms of
electronically mediated art. The Clan has become widely known in local
circles as a creative collective of electronic sound experimentalists,
with frequent performances at many events.
Clan has its headquarters in Sydney, Australia, with branches now exten-
ding to other cities and capitals around the country with groups forming
overseas. Sound hackers, performers, composers, producers, engineers and
djs, intercept with electronic zeal.
Membership for Clan Analogue is only 30 dollars a year. This allows access
to all information disseminated by Clan either on the Network or Snail--
mail distribution. It also avails those involved with the experience of
working and communicating with an interactive support network for the
pursuit of innovation within progressive sound composition. Clan members
are invited regularly on many radio stations in our areas, and their
featured work is being heard by more and more people, tired of commercial
and dull uninitiated musical crud.
For those who are familiar with telecommunication devices, such as modems
interfacing with data space. Clan Analogue, now has its own conference,
X.ANALOG, *on-line* on System-X - "Computer mediated communications for
computer mediated artists". Data ph 61-(02) 361-4063 all speeds to v.32

FROM DRAWING TO MONTAGE: COMPUTERS IN ART
Annette Weintraub
February 16 - March 4 1994, The Gallery at Parsons School of Design, New
York, USA. Opening Reception: February 16, 6-8 pm
Kevin Crawford; Kenneth Sean Golden; Kathryn Greene; Kent Rollins; Kath-
leen Ruiz; Mechthild Schmidt; Madeline Schwartzman; Leah Siegel; Annette
Weintraub.
Interdisciplinary in scope, historically informed, FROM DRAWING TO MONTAGE
locates artists' use of computers within the broader context of twentieth
century challenges to traditional art practices and assumptions, especial-
ly as they have manifested themselves through technological innovations
and the disruptions they have caused.
The exhibition, encompassing drawing, photography and sculpture, features
the work of nine artists who represent a broad cross section of artists
working with computer technologies.
Avoiding easy conclusions, FROM DRAWING TO MONTAGE seeks to consider a
body of art works and practices still very much in flux.
A symposium including panel discussion will accompany the exhibition and
will be held the week of February 21. Call for details. This exhibition
has been curated by Michael Dashkin. For information, contact: Clinton

TELEMATIC OPERA
I am in the process of creating and coordinating a telematic opera
entitled "The Reality Engine" based loosely on the mind of McLuhan.
It involves a collection of cities with their appropriate creative team

-Role of electronic communication at presentation of artefacts, in spite
of saving energy, space and materials comparing to classical exhibitions
(cost of communication, transportation, renting rooms, publishing catalo-
gues etc.).
-Impact of computer graphics and electronic communication in art on
post-communist and third world countries (Transition from closed to open
society caused boom of international art exhibitions. Similiar situation
exists in commmercial applications of computers, but artists have limited
access to these technologies).
